Broadway is eyeing David Mamet's Oleanna, starring Bill Pullman and Julia Stiles, which recently opened to raves in Los Angeles. Variety reports that the production, scheduled to play in L.A. through July 12, will probably come to New York this fall, though no official timeline has been set. If Mamet's 17 year-old Oleanna does hit Broadway, it would compete with his own new play, Race, premiering at the Barrymore Theater.

Spare us, please. This show is so dated and Julia Stiles is consistently awful on stage.
I just saw the show tonight and while I think the show itself is a bit dated and flawed, the both actors did a really terrific job. The part of Carol is pretty thin on the page, and is to Stiles’s credit she managed to inject the character with some inner life.
The part of “Carol” thin? “Carol”, no matter how the play is perceived, is high drama! A manipulative, psychotic college girl who twists the language uttered by her professor during her appeal to pass his course into a personal vendetta against the professor. Words explaining the course, philosophy, over heard private conversation, personal philosophy, words uttered to calm her, all intertwined during the meeting are molded by “Carol” into a moral corruption charge and legal crime charge of rape bringing down an otherwise normal, though, to his horror, professor with an over reaching desire to help “Carol”. “Carol” is a hellish character. Hardly thin.
